Now they’ve emerged as a serious contender with breakout quarterback Russell Wilson and a beefed up defense headlined by cornerback Richard Sherman. With the San Francisco 49ers returning to its powerhouse team, the NFC West has become a division to keep an eye on and these two teams have built up a rivalry. Read more after the jump.
“I think people like the next best thing,” 49ers All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman told Around The League on Friday. “I think people like seeing the challenger get close to being the best. That’s what they’re doing. (Seattle) had a great game against us at their house (a 42-13 victory over San Francisco in Week 16). (They) turned heads, knowing that we were a good team, and the cookies fell where they may.”
Said Bowman: “You have to earn these things. This is their first time being mentioned like that, in this sentence, and we’ll see what they’ll do with that.”
“They’re a good team,” Bowman said. ” … I think it’s built our division up, I think it’s made it a lot tougher and people understand now, when they play us, that us guys in the NFC West — they have to come play us.”
